Fantastic Adaptive Taxonomies and How to Use Them

arXiv:2607. 16387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An agent system's execution traces record how it fails, and procedures that improve such a system without changing model weights (trajectory selection, prompt and workflow optimization, runtime monitoring) read these traces for feedback.

FedSkillGit: Federated Skill Evolution via Version Control

FedSkillGit is a federated framework that enables large language model agents to evolve reusable natural‑language skills without sharing raw data. Instead of uploading entire skill documents, clients submit bounded patches and local experience summaries, which are filtered for privacy, deduplicated, and merged into a global skill candidate. The server distributes the candidate for client‑side validation, publishing it only when performance improves, and experiments show it outperforms baselines by up to 22% while approaching centralized results.

Typed Federated Artifacts for the Agentic Web:Sharing Tool-Routing Knowledge Across Frozen,Heterogeneous LLM Agents

The paper proposes typed federated artifacts—schema‑validated objects with per‑field privacy and dispute resolution—to enable tool‑routing knowledge sharing among frozen, heterogeneous LLM agents. By replacing flat text prompts with typed fields, the authors achieve near‑centralized routing performance on StableToolBench while reducing data size to 20 MB JSON per client. The study also highlights that a simple TF‑IDF classifier can outperform LLM routing on labeled benchmarks, indicating limitations in current evaluation methods.

Learning by Doing: Autonomously Compiling and Curating Agent Skills from Verified Traces

The paper introduces Zep Agent Skills, a production service that autonomously compiles and curates procedural memory for large language model agents by converting verified execution traces into versioned skills. It records each task attempt as a trace, uses a compiler with Reflector and Curator roles to transform verified traces into skills, and applies admission gates and search ranking based on verified outcomes. The open Agent Skills format, originally from Anthropic, allows any host to load compiled skills, and evaluation on several benchmarks shows significant performance gains for weaker executor models without additional training.
